Bill,
Consider this except from: "Zen-Brain Reflections" By Dr. James H. Austin: Chapter 81, page 360 - 361 "More useful Descritions of the Other Qualities of Kensho-Satori Over the centuries, Buddhist school have since found ways to articulate major qualities of kensho-satori. In their old Sino-Japanese phrases we can discover concepts like eternity, suchness, nonduality, liberation and so on. When translated, the following words and short phrases can still help puzzled readers who may wonder what is so special about this state of insight-wisdom. [Four of the 11 phrases are below.] 4. Fusho fumetsu: neither arising nor perishing. The ultimate reality of things is a static quality. 7. Honpusho: originally not produced. In the inactivity of ultimate reality, nothing comes into existence and nothing disappears. 9. Mui jinen: the as-it-isness of absolute reality; things as they really are, beyond all change 10. Shinyo: true suchness; unchanging reality" Do you have any hints or comments on these four statements for us?
